Your Voice Matters: Help Shape Mesa’s Future

Monthly Update from Vice Mayor Heredia

As we develop our 2025-2029 HUD Consolidated Plan, we need your input to ensure that affordable housing, community development, and supportive services in Mesa meet the needs of our low- and moderate-income residents.

Your feedback will:

• Identify unmet needs in the community.

• Guide the City in setting priorities and designing effective strategies.

• Help us allocate federal funding for activities, programs, and services that will make a difference.

What is the Consolidated Plan? The Consolidated Plan is a vital planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Mesa to receive federal funding for housing and community development. Every five years, we develop this plan through extensive research and community outreach to determine the top housing needs, community development priorities, and gaps in supportive services for our most vulnerable residents.

How Can You Get Involved? Over the next few months, we encourage all Mesa residents, non-profits, businesses, and community stakeholders to participate in virtual and in-person community forums or complete our community-wide survey. Please visit https:// www.mesalistens.com/HUD5yearplanning for more information.

Let your voice be heard. Take part in shaping the future of our community!
